Retreats for Personal and Professional Growth

Sheri discussed the transformative nature of retreats, emphasizing their experiential and location-specific aspects.

She also mentioned the possibility of incorporating experiential learning into corporate settings, such as wine and dinner parties. Alana expressed interest in the concept of retreats and their potential for personal and professional growth.

Valuing Time and Energy in Business

Sheri discussed the importance of valuing one's time and energy in running a business, particularly for heart-based entrepreneurs. She emphasized that a retreat should be seen as a business venture rather than a hobby, and that it requires a significant investment of time and energy. Sheri also highlighted the need for a reasonable exchange of energy to ensure the sustainability of the business. She shared her experience of starting her travel company, Journeys of the Spirit, in 2003, which offers retreat management and bespoke travel services.
